I think that http://reasondecrystallized.blogspot.com… that post might answer some of your questions regarding interpretation: there is no right one, but many of those out there support virulent homophobia. considering the sheer amount of prejudice and bigotry enshrined in the law and societal action against gays, defended by reference to christian dogma, then surely you understand the pushback? gays constantly hear from christians how they are abominations who don't deserve civil rights. so when they say that christians are being assholes to them, that's true--and if you wish to make much of the distinction between 'asshole christians' and some other kind, then the proper place to do so is in the faces of the assholes, and not dan savage's blog.
